Belgium: Nonprofit Institutions Satellite Account, 2000-2008 (French, 2010)In this publication, the National Accounts Institute (NAI) provides data on the Satellite Account of Nonprofit Institutions (NPIs) from Belgium for the years 2000 to 2008. This report confirms that since 2000, the role of NPIs in the total economy, both in terms of gross value added or employment has been increasing. In 2008, Belgian NPIs generated a gross value added of 17.6 billion euros, up 7.6% against the previous year, and contributed 5.1% of the gross domestic product (GDP) and employing 11.5% of domestic employment. This report is available in French.

Brazil: Nonprofit Institutions Satellite Account, 2002 (2010)Instituto Brasilerio de Geografia e Estatistica (IBGE) produced this pilot non-profit institutions satellite account for Brazil for the year 2002 in partnership with the Center and UN Volunteers. The results of this study show that the nonprofit sector in Brazil represents a significant economic force, employing a sizable share of the workforce, and contributing to the Brazilian economy on a par with other major industries. In the process, the report demonstrates the feasibility of generating regular, detailed economic data on the nonprofit sector in Brazil at a level of detail not available through other sources. It is our hope that the report will lead to a permanent system for generating satellite accounts in the country to document the role and activity of the country’s important nonprofit institution sector. The findings show that the nonprofit sector value added in Brazil was about 34.2 billion Real (USD$26.4 billion) in 2002. Including the value of volunteers, this translates into a nonprofit sector that accounted for approximately 2.3 percent of the aggregate value of the economy in 2002.
